Tough call at Crosskeys

28.3.2011

A relentless run of big games continues for Pontypridd with a
tough away league tie at Crosskeys on Tuesday
29th March, kick off time 7:15pm.

Having battled hard to overcome a hugely spirited Merthyr side in the
quarter finals of the SWALEC Cup last Saturday, Pontypridd must now
quickly re-focus on a critical Premiership match, with the aim of
defending their status as league leaders.

It was back in August of last year, and in the first game of the
new season, that Ponty secured a hard fought home win over the Keys
by 23pts to 15. Results since then have seen Pontypridd maintain
pole position, accumulating 88pts and Crosskeys battling for
qualification for the British & Irish Cup draw next season, in
seventh position and on 50pts.

Ponty once more make a raft of changes from the line-up that
started in the narrow cup win at Merthyr, eight in all as the
coaches maintain their policy of freshening up the side for each
game that comes along.
